William Melville Long Wes a Terror to the Underground World of Great Metropolis. One of the most famous of British detectives, and a man who probably knew more about the international political underground world of London than any other man of his time, died recently, in the person of William Mel- _ ville, says a cnrresliondent, An Irishman from Berry, he joined the force as an ordinary police con- stable, and in his progrees to the chief superintendentship of the "special" or political branch of the Criminal In- vestigation Department at New Scot- land Yard he had to deal with dyna- mite and fnmrchiet plottere through , very troubled times.

One of his invariable duties was that of acting as cicerone to travelling royalties. When the ex -Czar of Rus- sia visited Britain, a few weeks befnre his marriage, under the able guidance of Melville, he was -made acquainted with every phase of the criminal lift: of the worst areas of London, both (East incl West.
